The Toronto Chinatown Festival has came a long way since its first opening in 2000. Each year the Festival continues to grow to ensure that the celebration surpasses the success of its predecessors.

In 2017, the Toronto Chinatown Festival attracted about 250,000 visitors during this 2-days event. Our theme for 2018 is “Leaped through The Dragon’s Gate.”

In the folktale the Carps swim upstream to try hard to jump through the dragon’s gate; it reminds people to work hard in order to being successful.

The Festival will host related engaging performances alongside vendors and interactive activities that will both showcase Canada’s cultural and communal diversity, while helping to improve local tourism and economy.
